Greetings, Poetry Lovers! Ready for today's installment in my National Poetry Month Project? (Mini poem videos each weekday: on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, it's one of my published poems for kids; on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it's haiku suitable for kids.)

Warning - Today's is a little s-p-oooo-k-y...Mwah-ha-haaa.

Click the link above or head to my YouTube Channel for "Epitaffy" from THE BEST OF TODAY'S LITTLE DITTY 2017-18 compiled by the ever-lively Michelle Heidenrich Barnes. (Michelle's daughter, Miranda, was the cover artist for this edition, which came out last year!) And check out all the Ditty goodness over at Michelle's place, Today's Little Ditty, always a favorite haunt.

(Children under 13 may comment only with demonstrated parental consent - Thanks!)

Aw, thanks so much, Michelle! We recorded this in the cemetery of a 300-plus-year old church in the middle of town. It's a fascinating place, and we had to duck into a corner to not be in the way of a few folks meandering about. ;0)
